that France has stolen march on the Empire
ind put her army on defensive foot.ng-not
offensive, 1t will be noted, hut merely safely
defensive in case of attempted invasion. What

The President must be greatly annoyed at
the lack of docility displayed 10y the DEM
ocrats in the District of Columbia Instead OF
accepting bis appointment of Mr. Matthews
(colored) of Ncw-Y York State, to be Register
of Deeds, with respectful silence or APPROX
al, they are Directing CHECKING" they call it,
vigorously. Some decidedly pointed rcsolu-
tons in favor of Home Rule adopted by
the Columbia Club are the latest phase Of their
wrath 1t is a curious family row, and its com

The relations of the Rev. DR.. McGlynn and
his superors in the Roman Catholic Church
have certainly not been complicated by hostile

In this paper. 1t will make q good many peo-
ple wonder if DIR. McGlynn does not sometimes
wish he might be saved from his friends.

put on the calendar. owing to the number OF
p,is,h cases which must he attended to first;
but when they do come up there should be

room in which Part iii. of General Sessions
could sit is provided The Office of the Re
ceiver Of Taxes ought to be appropriated to
this use. Meanwhile Judge Cowing IS right
In insisting on promptness from all concerned
In such cases as he can reach.
The Health Commissioner Of Brooklyn and
his sufordinatcs have got themselves into
pretty mess in relation to the sudden deaths IN
the Mauri family. The worst of il is that
number of innocent people will have to suffer
TIC unpleasantest and possibly fatal, conse-
quenccs. The Maui children died OF small
box of the most malignant kind, and although
The health officers had reason TO suspect the
